After sending multiple transmissions with no response, the Old Demon finally confirmed a cruel fact—the boy ran away!
His heart was filled with anger.
Madness.
And devastation.
In his entire life, apart from being suppressed here by his master, he had never suffered such a great loss!
He had given that boy so many good things, even expending his Primordial Energy to cleanse his Bone Marrow and help him improve his cultivation.

Absolutely outrageous.
In truth, what truly annoyed him wasn't the loss of things but the shame of being deceived.
He thought himself to be exceedingly shrewd, holding the other firmly in his grasp, only to find out in the end, he was the one who got played.
Instantly, his sense of intellectual superiority vanished completely.
